MGT312 - Senior Officials Workshop for All-Hazards Preparedness

This course provides a forum to discuss strategic and executive-level issues related to all-hazard disaster preparedness, to share proven strategies and best practices, and to enhance coordination among officials responsible for emergency response and recovery from a disaster. This workshop integrates a multimedia scenario and vignettes that highlight key issues and facilitates executive-level discussion of the United States’ National Strategy for Homeland Security. Additionally, the forum provides an opportunity to apply lessons learned from past local and national all-hazards disasters.

This course includes seven distinct modules incorporating lecture, discussion, and a practical exercise. Each module focuses on a key component of disaster preparedness, such as Culture of Preparedness, Integrated Partnerships, Organizing for Success, Crisis Communications, etc. Within the various modules are opportunities for group interaction and discussion. The final module of the course is designed to provide the participants the opportunity to develop an action plan or to-do list for follow-up consideration and action.

The practical exercise consists of an expanding incident, designed specifically to address the local community’s needs or concerns. Participants are provided information and periodic updates, after which they are given a list of questions to consider and discuss. Through these updates, the incident builds upon itself until it reaches a mass casualty/catastrophic level, thereby overwhelming the normal capabilities of the local jurisdiction and challenging the participants to consider their local policies, resources, and limitations.

This workshop provides a unique opportunity for local or regional executives to share strategies and coordinate plans for emergency preparedness and response. This workshop is an effective process for discussing executive-level issues with leaders from the agencies involved in all levels of the emergency management structure.

The first module reviews the topics of terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), national response structures, incident management, and government and agency roles. Participants learn about the passing of information to the public in a WMD, terrorism, or other all-hazards incident and the function of joint information operations.

The second module covers issues unique to interacting with members of the media to help you build more effective relationships and avoid common mistakes when providing information to the press and public. The module includes a mock press conference exercise in which the class is broken into groups to prepare for and conduct press conferences based on fictional WMD, terrorism, and all-hazards incident scenarios. These scenarios are taken from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Planning Scenarios.

The third module introduces the crisis communication life cycle and crisis communication planning. A six-phase cycle is discussed, with public information objectives and key actions for managing each phase provided. Participants learn how to create a crisis communication plan and develop a crisis communication team to execute it.

The Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM), Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner (CHMP) and Registered Environmental Manager (REM) credentials are issued by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) and the National Registry of Environmental Professionals (NREP) respectively. The TEEX CHMM, CHMP and REM test preparation course is designed to help prepare those qualified IHMM and NREP approved candidates with experience and intermediate or higher-level knowledge of safety and environmental terminology as well as familiarity with related rules and industry objectives to sit for the CHMM, CHMP and REM exam. During the course, students are provided an intense review of all related industry concepts and practices including regulatory, technical scientific principles and their application, and best management practices that meets the IHMM and NREP guidelines for qualification.

To qualify for the CHMM, CHMP and/or REM credentials, the interested candidate must first apply to and meet all eligibility requirements before scheduling and taking their CHMM, CHMP and/or REM examination. The CHMM and CHMP examinations are administered by an independent testing organization and after a candidate has successfully completed the application process, he or she will receive a notification from IHMM called an Authorization to Test. This notification will contain access information to the independent computer-based testing organization. Authorized candidates must make separate arrangements with the independent testing organization that administers the CHMM and CHMP exam. As a benefit and convenience to the course participant, TEEX has an authorized test center location and can proctor the CHMM and CHMP exam for the testing organization, as well as the REM exam for the NREP, the day after the preparatory coursework is completed.
